Night Number 4.......

And it's 8pm and they are all in bed. Mind you they are not sleeping but at least they are in bed!!! And I am alone with 3 kids and three dogs with no help cuz my entire family has left me. All 3 of you owe me BIG TIME!!!!!!! lol

So we are driving home from school tonight and Maddie and Mackenzie are having a conversation about where they live and it goes something like this:

Maddie, "I live in Saskatoon".
Mackenzie, "no you don't Madeleine"!
Maddie, "No, no, I live in Warman not Saskatoon".
Mackenzie, " I live in the Mountains" (very loudly, surprise, surprise)
Maddie, "NO, NO, MACKENZIE HODGSON. YOU DON'T LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS YOU LIVE IN SASKATOON"!!!
Mackenzie "I live in Saskatoon"?
Mommy, "Mackenzie, you live in Saskatoon and Saskatoon is on the Prairies".
Mackenzie, "No, Mommy I want to live in the Mountains"! and she starts to cry
Maddie, "My Friend Fernie lives in the mountains. Ya, my friend Fernie. Wanna visit Fernie"?
Mackenzie, "Fernie"?
Maddie, "Ya, you know Fernie, my friend Fernie. He lives in the Mountains. We go there, K"?

And the conversation continues about Fernie, cars and I want crackers cuz I'm hungry Mom!!


It surprises me just how much these two remember things especially at their young age---sometimes I forget they are only 2 1/2yrs old!!

and poor Jackson is so tired from his new Before and AfterSchool program he's just sitting back taking it all in.

Oh, and by the way Jason and Jenn......after we got off the phone I had to go upstairs and change Mackenzie because she had pooped and Maddie was sound asleep and as I write this it's 8:27pm!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!!
